Yutai Bi

Chapter 223 Disappointment
When she went out, she was shocked that Fang's mother, Aqiu and Fengchun, had disappeared.She quickly walked through the room, and saw the nuns and maids of the palace standing around the main hall with their hands down.

When he looked up, he saw King Teng sitting on the main seat in the middle, with a square chess board in front of him, playing chess by himself.

Cen Sanniang gasped, Fang's mother must have been quietly invited away.She bravely stepped forward and bowed her knees to salute: "Greetings to the prince." She stood up straight, and said: "I have already visited the princess, so I will take my leave."

King Teng threw the Moyu chess piece in his hand into the chess box, stood up, walked to Cen Sanniang and held her hand.

"What are you doing?" Cen Sanniang was shocked.

King Teng put a finger between his lips, and said lightly: "If I were you, I would go quietly with this king. Don't let the princess hear that she has strange thoughts."

Only one room away is Yuchi Baozhu's bedroom.Cen Sanniang subconsciously turned her head to look over.I saw that the nuns, ladies, officers and maids who were standing in the main hall had already gone in.

She tried hard to withdraw her hand, lowered her voice and said, "My lord respects himself!"

The body was staggered by King Teng, and his wrist seemed to be bound by an iron band, and he couldn't break free.Cen Sanniang was anxious and afraid: "I am Mrs. Cai Guogong!"

King Teng did not speak, and hurriedly led her across the corridor.

Cen Sanniang was so anxious that she didn't dare to shout out loud. There was no one in the yard, and she became frightened.He whispered, "My lord, where do you want to take me?"

At the end of the corridor is the Daoyue Cave Gate. King Teng dragged her out. Outside was a garden with a pavilion surrounded by carved doors and windows.

After walking straight in, King Teng let go of his hand, and said slowly, "It's really not easy to meet you alone."

In the blink of an eye, Cen Sanniang immediately understood the meaning of Cen Liuniang's words.She opened her mouth wide, pointed at King Teng and said in a trembling voice: "You fought with him because you knew it was out of etiquette that he would come to apologize. He couldn't hold back his face by doing all the acting, and only I would come to pay respects to the princess. You, you Are you trying to lure me to come to the palace alone? What do you want to do?"

"I saw you in Qujiang at the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and I kept thinking about why you were wearing a red dress..." King Teng stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, the snow-white ramie on his body was blown by the wind, and his eyes were as deep as pond.

There is a pond of lotus planted in the garden, and pink flower arrows have already protruded from the branches and leaves.The sun was hitting King Teng's face, his white clothes were like snow, and the coiled dragon embroidered with gold silk on his belt was dazzling.Cen Sanniang's eyes were dazzled by the glory.

"I sneaked into Longzhou City that year during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the golden flowers and silver rain sprinkled by the fire dragon were so beautiful. There were so many people crowded, and when I looked at you, I felt as if you were the only one on the long street. Originally, I thought , I’m the only one, and I didn’t expect there to be another you on the street. Sometimes I can’t remember your appearance, but only remember that dress, which looks like a cloud.” Teng Wang seemed to be talking to Cen Sanniang, and then As if talking to himself.

The wind was blowing gently, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard.

Cen Sanniang gradually calmed down, rubbed her wrists, and said slowly: "What clothes I wear... none of your business! You must never say that you like me, I will feel very disgusted."

When this rough word came out of her mouth, King Teng laughed lightly.A smile bloomed on his face little by little, like the sun shining on the ice and snow, it felt somewhat warm.

He looked extremely happy: "It was only later that I found out that you were all pretending to be gentle and reserved when you came to meet me on the boat. How did you manage to roll around at the gate of the Founding Marquis's mansion?"

"Who rolled?" Cen Sanniang blurted out, and said angrily, "Sitting on the steps and pretending to cry. Don't say I'm so embarrassed."

King Teng laughed: "I'm keeping you here to ask you something."

If it comes, it will be safe, she doesn't believe that King Teng really dares to do something to her.Not to mention anything else, Du Yansui is no longer the former bodyguard Kong Qing.It is impossible for King Teng to be free from scruples.Cen Sanniang was more calm in her heart, she bowed her body and said, "What does the lord want to ask?"

"It turned out to be a very courageous one." King Teng sighed, "You are just like her, you are different."

she?Wu Zhaoyi?Cen Sanniang disagreed with his words: "There are no identical flowers in the world. There are also no identical people. Everyone is different."

King Teng's face darkened: "Does it mean that whatever I say, you will sing against me?"

Cen Sanniang didn't even hide her gaze, and said calmly, "I'm just telling a fact."

When getting along with her before, she would at least be afraid of herself.Now... "Is it because you have Du Yansui behind you to support you?" Teng Wang's tone was a little heavy, with disdain and arrogance.It was as if Du Yansui had become a first-rank Duke, which was nothing in his eyes.

Cen Sanniang hated him looking at Du Yansui like this, and her tone was even more proud: "Yes. Du Yansui can support me. It's a pity that Yuchi Baozhu is a princess, but he has to be angry with his mother. The pampered girl of the Duke's Mansion is afraid of how many people Slave and maidservant. The lord did not back her up! Speaking of this alone, I don't think she married the wrong person."

"Presumptuous!" King Teng finally got angry.

Since Cen Sanniang dared to say it, she went all out, looked at King Teng sarcastically and said, "Am I wrong? Don't think that your trick of using rules to restrain Yuchi Baozhu is so clever. Don't you just think that Baozhu was raised coquettishly, and there is Yuchi behind him?" The old Duke and two promising elder brothers backed her up, afraid that her tail would go up to the sky, and would you be unhappy? Since you are not happy, are you capable of refusing the marriage from the emperor? What is it to take your anger out on the princess? To tell the truth Let me tell you, if it wasn’t for the emperor to marry you, Cen Liuniang would be ecstatic to marry you. Cen Liuniang loves you, and she would wag her tail happily when you throw a bone. Maybe you still look down on her.”

"Are you reprimanding the king? Do you know what crime it is to despise the royal family?" When King Teng was angry, there was no expression on his face, his dark eyes were like the sky hit by a storm, gloomy and terrifying.

Cen Sanniang smiled.She remembered the children's story she read when she was a child: Pony Crossing the River.The pony wants to cross the river to help his mother do something.Looking at the river very timidly, Uncle Niu told it that the river was not deep, at most knee-deep.But the squirrel said that the depth of the water was unfathomable, and a little friend was drowned yesterday.The pony was terrified.The old horse told it whether it was deep or shallow, and he had to try it himself to know.The pony crossed the river smoothly.

She's like that pony.As a newcomer, I am full of fear of imperial power and this society.When he recognized King Teng's identity on the boat, he began to fear.But in the past few years, I have seen the emperor, chatted with Wu Zetian, and fought with the queen's family.Until today, seeing King Teng muster up the courage to finish those words, she is really not afraid of him anymore.

Cen Sanniang raised a bright smile: "How can I reprimand you. I just want to tell the prince. Du Yansui is not the guard Kong Qing who accompanied you. I am not the same Cen Sanniang back then. , you can ask me in a fair and honest manner. It is too rude to arrest my servant and drag me here."

King Teng was startled.The anger came and went quickly, and he laughed loudly: "Isn't it Cen Sanniang who was threatened by this king in the past and wagged her tail to please?"

Cen Sanniang straightened her back.

King Teng's laughter didn't stop, he took a step forward, and squinted his eyes slightly: "Are you really not afraid? This king wants to try..."

Cen Sanniang was shocked: "What do you want to do?"

His body was suddenly dragged into his arms, Cen Sanniang's mind went blank for a moment, she pushed him and screamed loudly.

King Teng frowned, clasped her hands behind his back, and looked down at her.There were no tears in her eyes, but her pupils were full of fear, twisting her body and struggling desperately.He remembered asking her when he was on the boat: “You really don’t beg me?”

Words came out of his mouth unknowingly.

Cen Sanniang looked at him in horror.

King Teng let go of her hand, and let her retreat to the wall, clutching her chest and panting.He turned his head and looked out the window, remembering that he asked her at that time: "You really don't ask me to help you?"

She immediately burst into flattering smiles, and softly begged him: "Please help me!"

As soon as he waved, she came over wagging her tail like a puppy, looking up at him eagerly.

how wonderful.He clearly remembered that she was wearing a long bun and two pink ribbons.At the end is a row of pearls the size of rice grains, gently brushing on the delicate face.He couldn't help but think of Mei Niang, who carried a food box to practice for him before going to the fiefdom.

At that time, he had neither the courage nor the ability to make any promises to Meiniang, he couldn't even say "I like you".After he left the capital, he kept thinking about that night and imagining that he could touch her face with his hands.Imagining, Chao Mei Niang waved and said: "Come here!" Imagining, Mei Niang would burst into a flowery smile, lift her skirt and rush over happily and throw herself into his arms.

He could only watch her put on a black hood, melt into the night, and walk towards the deep palace that he could never enter again.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wait for the scene he was looking forward to.

King Teng's eyes gradually became moist, and his chest was burning with fire, which was forcibly suppressed by him again.He turned his head to look at Cen Sanniang: "If you don't leave, do you want to stay by my king's side?"

Cen Sanniang stared blankly at him, seeing a handsome face covered with gloom, she lifted her skirt and rushed out the door without thinking.

She ran in the direction she came from, and as soon as she entered the moon cave door, she saw a maid standing with her hands down in the corridor.She paused, leaning on the porch pillar to catch her breath.

"Madam Du, I will send you out of the mansion." A maid came over and bowed her knees.

"Where's my servant?" Cen Sanniang asked dryly.

"They're waiting for you at the door."
